Apache Tomcat 3.x < 3.2.2 Malformed URL JSP Source Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 50347

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by a JSP source disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability which allows JSP source code to be sent as a response to an HTTP request that does not end with an HTTP protocol specification.

This install is also likely to be affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability and an additional information disclosure vulnerability, although Nessus did not test explicitly for either of those issues.

Solution

Update to Apache Tomcat version 3.2.2 or later.
